Two to face murder trial over home invasion

Two men are to stand trial for murder over a man's death after a home invasion at Elizabeth Downs in northern Adelaide.

Daniel Haughey, 50, died five days after suffering stab wounds during the attack at his home last August.

Gordon Anthony O'Connor, 28, and teenager Dylan Jake Young, 19, have pleaded not guilty to murder at a hearing in Adelaide Magistrates Court.

Their lawyers argued previously the victim's stab wounds had been classed as not life-threatening by medical staff and the man may have died from a heart attack he suffered after being given a sedative in hospital.

Chief Magistrate Elizabeth Bolton has found O'Connor and Young have a case to answer and they will be arraigned in the Supreme Court next month.
